RM2,000 bonus for each team member if S'gor win most golds at Sukma
PETALING JAYA : The Selangor government has decided to give a RM2,000 incentive to each of its athletes if the state wins the 2026 Malaysia Games (Sukma) by gaining the most gold medals.
Menteri besar Amirudin Shari said this would be on top of the incentives that each athlete would get if they win gold, Bernama reported.
Athletes in individual sports who win a gold medal will receive a RM10,000 incentive.
Those in team events with fewer than three athletes will receive RM5,000 each, while those in sports with more than three teammates will be awarded RM3,000 each, if they win the gold medal.
'However, this amount can still go up. We have a year from now (till the next Sukma),' Amirudin was quoted as saying after officiating at the state government's Road To Sukma 2026 Champion programme.
Seri Serdang assemblyman Abbas Azmi was appointed the head of the Selangor contingent.
The last Sukma in 2024 was held in Sarawak, with the host state winning the competition with 62 gold, 45 silver and 52 bronze medals.
Selangor finished third with 40 gold, 48 silver and 35 bronze medals, behind the federal territories, which garnered 75-65-72.

Faisal's brace gives Selangor healthy lead in FA Cup
PETALING JAYA: Captain Faisal Halim scored twice to inspire Selangor to a 3-1 victory over Malaysian University in their FA Cup first-round, first-leg match on Saturday. Faisal opened the scoring in the fourth minute, ghosting in at the far post to turn in Aliff Izwan's cross from the left. Cape Verde winger Alvin Fortes doubled the advantage in the 24th minute, before Faisal completed his brace just before half-time. Malaysian University substitute Aiman Daniel pulled one back for his side in the 83rd minute. He dispossessed Selangor defender Moses Raj and coolly slotted the ball past goalkeeper Samuel Somerville. Despite the win, Selangor coach Katsuhito Kinoshi said he was unhappy with his team for conceding a goal. "We still need to make improvements. We conceded an unnecessary goal. Anyway, it is part of the learning process, and scoring three goals gives us a healthy lead ahead of the return leg," he said. The return leg will be played at the same venue on Sept 13.
